Lawmakers entered this year’s legislative session looking to further crack down on bullying in Iowa schools, a priority for Gov. Terry Branstad. The so-called Bully-Free Iowa Act of 2014 failed when the House cleared a version removing a provision meant to untie the hands of school officials in bullying cases off school grounds as they affect students on campus. The Senate refused to take up the altered plan, as Sen. Rob Hogg, a Cedar Rapids Democrat, says that aspect of the legislation was “the single most important thing to do.” Stanerson, a Center Point Republican, says the plan could only move forward without the provision.
